The Humor Treatment at "Chronic Holiday"
For a strong dose of reality therapy and the bracing slap of gimp humor sidle on over to "Chronic Holiday." It gives a new meaning to the concept of vacation (and outs everyone who thinks their effusions of good intention, malice, projection, or self-consumed pity are received equanimously.)
(Visual description of a black and white photo A nurse is pouring liquid into a spoon and looking outward at the viewer. A though bubble next to her contains the words, "You have a laissez-faire attitude toward healing." At the bottom of the photo are the words, "Get Well Soon.")
From author Donimo's profile on the site:
I have chronic pain-- it's the result of too many car accidents, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, thoracic outlet syndrome, and some other causes that have yet to be determined. I have pain from head-to-toe and a lot of fatigue. I can’t work. I am a perfect target for unsolicited advice! When you have chronic health problems, people love to comment on your life or offer advice. In fact, hardly a day goes by without someone--friend, family member, passerby, acquaintance, salesperson, hairdresser, friend of a friend, friend of a friend of a friend, whoever--offering words of wisdom. These are some of my favourites. I’ve got hundreds of them! I bet you’ve got quite a collection as well.
